You may be able to receive a low interest loan from the B.C. provincial government to pay your current year property taxes. Applications for the Tax Deferment Programs will be available from the Provincial Tax Deferment Office in mid-May. Forms will also be available at that time at the Property and Payment Services counter at City Hall and the City Operations Centre.

Residents who apply to defer their property taxes are still responsible to pay their metered or annual utility bill, claim their home owner grant and pay any user fees showing on their tax notice. The tax notice items that can not be deferred are waste collection (garbage, recycling, organics) and secondary suite service charge fees.
